RISC Ultra Low Power 3.5" SBC and Computing Box

Advantech is presenting two new products powered by the TI Sitara AM3352 Cortex-A8 1GHz high performance processor - RSB-4220 3.5" Single Board Computer, and UBC-FA30 computing box. The low-power Sitara AM3352 design uses only 2.8 watts and comes with rich I/O features such as UART, Giga LAN, CANbus and more. RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 are suited for applications in industrial automation and IoT devices.

RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 are powered by the capable TI AM3352 Cortex A8 processor and come equipped with 512MB of DDR3 memory and 4GB flash ROM onboard. They fulfill numerous industrial application requirements with features like UART, Giga LAN, CAN and more. The rich I/O coastline of RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 are also optimised specifically for industrial applications including: 6 × UART with ESD protection, 8 × GPIO, as well as 1 × CAN bus 2.0B, 1 × USB 2.0, 1 × SD card slot, 2 × Giga LAN, and 1 × I2C with 5V interface. RSB-4220 also specifically supports Mini PCIe, RS-485 and single channel 18-bit LVDS interface. RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 not only represent a useful hardware option for the industrial market, but they are also flexible enough to be applied to a wide variety of applications in IoT and automation control. Beyond the high performance and rich I/O interface, RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 offer very low power only 2 watts under normal operation with 12 / 19 / 24V DC-In wide-range power voltage input and reliable power circuit design.

RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 come with Linux kernel V3.2.0 and a complete Board Support Package to help you develop your own applications. Secondly, RSB-4220 also supports the most popular QT Version and comes with a UI tool for GUI interface development, along with source code examples. With non-GUI features like thread management, network support, and a unified cross-platform API for file handling, QT can be utilised for developing all kinds of industrial applications.

Furthermore, with Advantech's dedicated service team and complete documentation and reference guide, new application development and legacy software integration into Advantech hardware platforms is made much easier. Advantech software services include source code, tools, APIs, documents, drivers, QT environment and AP level services; making RSB-4220 and UBC-FA30 the sensible choice for your new application development.

RSB-4220 delivers stable, strong system performance in a low-power platform. It is designed specifically for those automation applications that require multiple I/O connections, high-performance graphic interfaces and complete software BSP with QT package support.

UBC-FA30 is a RISC computing box that uses RSB-4220 as the motherboard. In addition to the flexible housing, users can install it onto a wall via standard screws, or free standing in the horizontal plane. UBC-FA30 also has a complete software BSP with Linux package. It designed for those automation applications that need multiple I/O and connections.
